Consider plastic guns, whether it be a water gun or a cap gun. In most cases, guns are symbols of violence. No parent would let their child watch television shows or movies that emanate violent messages or scenes. So, buying children guns, as innocent as it may seem, could be exposing your child to the violence you attempt to shield them from in other ways. Little harmless games that include running around and pretending to shoot others, will never show a child the downside to using such a powerful weapon. These plastic replicas eliminate the power of the gun. With these, no one ever drops dead, and there are never any consequences. But, we all know that, in the real world, this is not the case.
